Not surprisingly, it was an ad-man, not a Chinese philosopher, who first came up with the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words.” In a 1921 ad extolling the benefits of including images on streetcar ads, publicist Frederick Barnard used the phrase, “One look is worth a thousand words.” Six years later, he used the phrase again, this time giving it an oriental twist: “One picture is worth ten thousand words.” In an attempt to give his slogan instant credence, Barnard attributed the phrase to a book of Chinese proverbs. The “proverb” became popularly attributed to Confucius, a misconception that persists today.

The “proverb” may have been a sham, but Barnard got the concept right. Photographs have the power of instant communication.
